here is nothing so practical as a good theory, and Attachment Theory helps the couples therapist see into and through the complex, multidimensional drama that is a close relationship in crisis. Attachment Theory helps direct the therapist to the defining features of such relationships, set treatment goals that are relevant and meaningful, and map out the best ways to intervene. A map that outlines the nature of the terrain makes the difference between a glorious adventure and getting lost in the woods and reaching a dead end. It offers the therapist an answer to key questions, such as what to focus on and what elements to target for change in the complex drama of relationship distress. Attachment Theory is an essential part of the coming of age of couples therapy as a modality. - Susan Johnson, Ph.D.

ttachment Theory is one of the foundations of Imago Therapy. Over the last few years there have been exciting developments in the application of Attachment Theory to couples therapy. According to Attachment Theory, most significant relationship problems can be linked to the security of the bond between partners and their struggle to define the relationship as a safe haven and a secure base. The spouse becomes the primary attachment figure for the majority of adults. The key issue in distressed relationships is seen as each partner’s accessibility and responsiveness to emotional cues. Dr. Susan Johnson, our conference keynote speaker, is a leader in this field and has developed “Emotionally Focused Therapy” to help couples explore the emotions which provide crucial insight to the underlying attachment issues. Many of our conference presenters have used Attachment Theory to guide their work and will help conference attendees apply the theory to practical issues, including providing and receiving consultation or supervision. Our other featured guest speaker, Dennis Stoica, is President of California Healthy Marriages Coalition, which is bringing marriage and relationship education to 15,000 couples a year. He will outline the key contributions Imago theory and practice is making to the rapidly growing field of couples education and how Imago practitioners can broaden their reach to families.

This profound training deepens theoretical understanding of characterological adaptations to pain through experiential processing at a personal level. In the Talmud there is a quote, “We can’t see the world as it is; we see it as we are.” This profound training takes the defense of projection and highlights the many ways we put it to use. As long as projection is available to us, we are out of connection with ourselves and others. This personal training is both exquisitely simple and complex, at the same time.

This workshop will review ethical issues regarding dual or multiple relationships. There are several disciplines represented by Imago Therapists. Each discipline has a code of ethics that all members have agreed to abide by. We will look at what some of the disciplines say about boundary violations vs. boundary crossings. We will then begin to collect ideas for “best practices” for Imago Therapy. And then begin to discuss and construct a document of “best practices” in which we will describe ethical practices for Imago Therapists. For some of our discussion we will use ethical dilemmas that create ethical conflicts or issues to gain more understanding of ethical choices an Imago Therapist makes.

The science of attachment can inform the way we teach and practice the art of Imago. It explains the neurobiology of right brain development, an area responsible for the way we seek, give and receive love. This workshop will focus on the ways in which classic and modern attachment theory and research confirms and expands important Imago concepts. The maximizer and minimizer become more understandable as they appear in both infant and adult attachment research. The early wounded couple is amplified by the research on attachment disorganization. Adult attachment research also illuminates the development and manifestation of the lost and denied self.

Why does love so often fade away when conflict emerges? Imago’s Relationship Fitness Kit gives couples the tools to stay connected.

“I immediately saw in the DVD what I could have done differently…It was an incredible awakening.” -Robyn H.

“Through Conflict to Connection” offers real-life examples of people learning to improve a loving relationship by coolly exploring the hotbutton issues unique to each partnership. The kit is based around a 60minute documentary-style movie, which includes extraordinary footage of actual couples experiencing Imago therapy, and includes Couples Handbooks to help you and your partner through the journey to connection.

Uncomfortable about working with a design firm?

Seltzer Studio Graphics will bring you some relief. Small businesses – even therapy and counseling practices – that stop reaching out to new people during a recession can contract faster than the economy as a whole. But crass marketing efforts can push away the very people who need your help. Working with a graphic design firm that takes the time to understand your practice in order to present your virtues accurately and tastefully can make all the difference. Seltzer Studio Graphics does two things very well: we help you identify what makes your enterprise unique, and we help you communicate that idea clearly, even beautifully. Our unparalleled visual versatility means that we can create unique print and web campaigns for you for a fraction of the cost you would spend with a larger agency.
